Over the last few years, esports betting has exploded in popularity due to the huge growth of the esports industry and the wider coverage tournaments and events are getting, plus the money involved.

While it doesn’t yet rival traditional sports betting, it’s not difficult to see a world where this could happen. If you’re a gamer, or an esports fan, and have wondered about esports betting, read on. We’ve created a comprehensive guide that details what it is, how it works, the popular video games you can bet on, and other useful information.

Esports Betting Explained

You’ve most likely heard of sports betting well, esports betting is exactly the same. Instead of betting on physical sports, you are placing wagers on video games like Call of Duty, League of Legends, StarCraft II, and VALORANT.

This was a logical progression for the esports industry and over the last years, betting on esports has exploded in popularity. You now have a range of dedicated websites that only provide esports betting. Also, many traditional sportsbooks have added esports betting sections to their already huge offerings.

Either way, the premise is simple – you sign up to one of the sites, deposit some real money in your local currency, and place wagers on your favorite esports teams and players. You then have the chance to get real money payouts in return.

Where to bet esports today

Most Popular Esports for Betting

The number of esports titles has grown significantly. New games emerge every year and with them an esports scene that acts as a way to promote the game, either directly by the publisher or through third party tournament organizers or both. The success of an esports largely depends on the sustainability of the scene and opportunities for players to go pro. Today, there are competitive gaming events for many different genres including FPS, MOBA, RTS, sports sims, battle royales mobile games, and trading card games.

With all these pro gaming events it’s no surprise that esports is now a popular betting option for many fans of the respective games. In the betting menus of possibly all sports betting sites you’ll now find everything from Counter-Strike 2 and LoL betting. To give you an introduction, we’ve listed the most popular esports games that you can bet on in the below table:

Types of Esports Bets You Can Make

You now know which games are popular for esports betting, like Valorant betting, but what about the types of bets you can make? Generally, there are three core types of bets available at the best esports betting websites:

• Single selections: Where you bet on one market.
• Multiple selections/accas/parlays: Where you bet on multiple events.
• Bet builders/Same-game parlays: Where you bet on multiple single markets from one match.

Within this broad spectrum of betting categories, you also have a range of common individual bet types which we’ve listed in the below table:

How to Choose a Good Site for Betting on Esports

Some sites are better than others for betting on esports. We know how difficult it can be to find a suitable site due to the huge amount of choice, and promotions they bombard you with to make you bet with them. To help make your decision easier, we’ve used our knowledge to list seven key features you should look for when choosing which betting website to use.

Licensing

Whether you’re looking for site with CS2 betting options or any other esport, we will only ever recommend licensed online sports betting sites. Without a gambling license, a betting site is not bound by any rules, laws, or regulations, and you could potentially open yourself to scams. You can be assured that the sites featured on this page are all licensed, and they should be available for the region you are accessing this site from. You should check for licensing information in the website footer of a betting site.

Usability

A site could have all the features in the world, but if its usability is poor, you won’t have an enjoyable betting experience. Therefore, we suggest looking at the desktop website design and layout to make sure it works smoothly and allows you to easily browse the esports categories and betting markets. You can also check to see if the operator has a downloadable mobile app for whichever type of smartphone you use.

Supported games

This is down to personal preference, but you’ll most likely only want to make bets on a select few games – probably the games you play yourself. With that in mind, you can use the links and banners on this page to browse through the best esports betting sites and see what games they support. Go one step further and look at the tournaments, leagues, and events they support too.

Betting markets

It’s one thing for the esports online betting site to support the games you want to bet on, but does it have the types of bets you want to make? This is very important, particularly if you want to make prop bets such as destroying a tower or barracks in Dota 2 betting. Think about what wagers you like making, and your potential betting strategies, and then browse the site’s betting setup before you register an account. It is also be worthwhile comparing the odds with other gambling sites.

Promotions

Whether you’re betting on Call of Duty or any other esport, it’s worth looking at the betting bonuses that the site offers. Start by checking out the welcome bonus, which is an promotion directed at new customers only. This might include a deposit match bonus, free bets, or risk-free bets, for example.

You should then look at the promos for existing customers to make sure you can still get great value once you are registered. It’s also worth checking if betting sites’s VIP or loyalty program that can reward you, via a ranking system, with cashback and rakeback, weekly and monthly esports betting bonuses, and even more exclusive perks depending on your VIP status.

Security

Site and mobile app security is also important and we want you to be safe when you are betting on esports. Top sites use industry-standard security features like SSL encryption and HTTPS connectivity. They will also allow advanced authentication for your account login such as 2FA. It’s also worth looking for the documentation they provide such as terms of service, privacy policies, and fairness documentation.

Responsible Gambling

Just because it’s esports and not traditional sports betting, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t gamble responsibly. We recommend checking the responsible gambling tools and support esports betting websites offer. Ideally, they should have some of the following features:

• Deposit limits
• Reality checks
• Timeouts
• Self-exclusion periods
• Betting limits
• Links to problem gambling support groups

Even if you don’t need to use these tools it’s still a great idea to understand how they work, and how you can access them if you feel like you are losing control.

How to Start Betting on Esports

Once you’ve selected a betting site you to join, you’ll need to register an account if you want to deposit real money and make your esports bets. The exact process can vary depending on the site, but it usually involves these steps:
